Flowers of Flores, Azores (June 2008)

Flores was originally named São Tomás, but the name was changed to Flores, which means flowers, and the flowers are everywhere. Hydrdangeas and wild roses grow in hedges along the roads and stone fences. Everyone seems to have a garden.

Thanks to sister Sydney and family friend Roger who helped identify these flowers for us. Mouse over the thumbnail image to see what they are.
